The new year brought an increase in one division of tolls paid to cross the 55-year-old Mackinac Bridge. As of Tuesday, the commuter toll rate increased to $2.10 per crossing, provided commuter card holders make their return trip within 36 hours of the first one. All other toll rates for Mackinac Bridge traffic will remain the same.The Mackinac Bridge Authority’s expiration date for commuter cards was eliminated in July.The new rate, among those approved in 2007, helps to help maintain and operate the five-mile bridge connecting the Upper Peninsula of Michigan with the Lower Peninsula.
